"The shrimp is pretty good, the family cook sure knows her way around the kitchen," commented Saskia with an appreciative nod.
Cybele corrected gently, "It was Mrs. Taylor who made it."
"Oh, is that so!" Saskia exclaimed, "Mrs. Taylor, you have got some real talent."
Blythe took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. This was exactly why she couldn't stand Harlan. She had dined with his family once before and it left a sour taste in her mouth. If it weren't for Lilith’s sake, she wouldn't have been able to swallow her pride today.
As the meal went on, Saskia, having nearly finished her plate, turned her attention to Drusilla.

"He must be busy with something," Drusilla replied, her appetite waning with Saskia’s presence. It was a struggle to ignore her!
Saskia couldn’t help but tease Drusilla upon hearing her, "How can you be someone’s wife and not even know what your own husband is up to?"
Drusilla's lips twitched in annoyance. "What my husband and I do is none of your concern. Who even are you to judge?"
